Jasper County High School graduate speaks to Royal Live Oaks students

Kyle Aubrey Greene is a 32-year-old Jasper County native who works as a system administrator for Blue Cross Blue Shield, but that job is just a small part of the work he is doing.

Greene, a 2000 Jasper County High School graduate and Benedict College alumnus, recently visited Royal Live Oaks Academy in Hardeeville.

Greene runs a basketball training academy in Blythewood, where he teaches kids ages 6-13 the fundamentals of basketball. During his visit, Greene spoke to Royal Live Oaks grade students about their purposes in life.

“Iron sharpens iron,” Greene told them. “If you are the smartest person in your clique, then you need to look at getting new friends. If iron sharpens iron, then who is sharpening you?

“Your network is your net worth, so surround yourself with those who will make you grow and better.”
